VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Pratt's aviation fuel, featuring the slogan "Pratts Again!" at the top. The ad announces an impressive feat: "AFRICA AND BACK in less than 23 hours!" It highlights that while it usually takes seven days to go from London to Tangier and back by the fastest land and sea route, this double journey of 2, 400 miles has been flown in just 22 hours and 49 minutes by Captain C. D. Barnard piloting an Aërospatiale-BAC Concorde de Havilland Puss Moth aircraft. The text also mentions Captain Barnard's recent flight to Malta and back as another example of his accomplishments using Pratt's Aviation Pratts Sealed fuel. Below the main text is a seal with the words "AVIATION PRATTS SEALED. " The image accompanying the text shows a silhouette of what appears to be an Arab man riding on a camel against a backdrop featuring palm trees, minarets or towers suggestive of African architecture, emphasizing the exotic destination mentioned in the advertisement. Please note that due to my knowledge cutoff date being April 2023, I cannot provide real-time information about this specific advertisement or its historical context beyond general knowledge available up until then.
